How to Eeep Your Temper.

Macklin was a man of very irritable
temper and a severe tashmaster at re-
hearsal, but he made sturdy and habitual
efforts to keep his temper down. One
morning at rehearsal one of the actors got
tired with over particularly, as he called
it, and declared it worse than the Prussian
exercise.
Macklin paused, looked at the refrac-
tory actor and quietly said: Suppose
We all go and sit down little in the
green room" He walked in and the
actors followed: he sat down, and they
seated themselves; he then took out his
watch, looked at it and laid it on the
table. Now" said he, well just sit
here one hour" The performers ac-
quiesced, but kept rather an awful silence
At the eXpirtc ion Of the hour Macklin

A new fad for collectors has been dis
covered. namely, engraved plates. 1t is
not enough 10 collect etchings AMI engrav-
ings, but these enthusiasts want the steel
and copper plates that they were printed
from. Is there a stray hobby for any one
left TO rides This is an age of collections,
and what rats Of matter pass through
:he auction rooms into the parlors and
libraries and cabinets of our wealthy citi-
zens! Pictures, prints, first editions,
coins, clocks, watches, bric-a-brac, min
erals, curios, autographs, photographs,
gems, postage stamps, walking sticks, UNI
brellas ., gloves, firearms, swords, cary
ings. play bills, book plates, buttons and
business cards. The man who made a
collection of cigar stumps is already noted
beyond his deserts. The, piquancy Of this
metal plate collecting doubtless consists in
the difficulty of securing examples of
value, for those made by painter etchers
are commonly defaced or destroyed after a
limited number OF impressions have been
taken, and it is a matter of principle with
the etcher that no impression shall be

Indian saw the performance, and was much
struck by it. He asked the officer if he could

Three or four OF us were watching an
English sparrow picking up his breakfast
the other morning. He finally got large
piece of cracker and few up to the electric
wire overhead to eat it. He alighted on u
space where the insulating covering had
met with an accident and been stripped
off, and his feet had no sooner touched the
wire than down he came, dead as stone
When we picked up the body it had
pulpy feeling as if every bone had been
broken. 1t was a striking proof, even on
a small scale, of the vindictive current
which buzzes and flashes and leaps over
and around us, ready at the slightest
provocation to strike a victim with the
chill Of death.-Detroit Free Press

A Note of Persian Civilization

When the hereditary governor of a
great city tells you that his grandfather
was boiled TO death and that his own fate
may not DE different, it strikes You that
his grandsire probably was, and that the
grandson is, somehow connected with a
sugar refinery. But when the gentleman
proceeds to explain that his ancestor was
judiCially boiled to to death, and that the
only favor he could obtain was that the
water should be hot and not cold when he
was plunged into it, a thrill of horror,
tempered with incredulity, is apt TO freeze
the listener; but yet such things are and
will be again in Persia. The hereditary
governor of the town Of ShiraZ, the capi-
tai Of Ears, the richest and largest prov
ince of modern Persia, was the gentleman
who had lost his grandfather in this way.
